What's are the "numbers?" Thanks.

Photos updated.
You are soooooo quick Allen !
I thought you might be able to make it out on the first photo but realised after uploading there was too much exposure.
Your nice wheel is commonly accepted as an "RS" wheel (as per the number) but the thickness of th grip suggests RSR, what is the circumference of the grip? See this thread for RS versus RSR wheels. RSR are accepted as 914 347 803 10 part number. Thanks.

The circumference was stated in the post as 95mm-97mm. It varies depending where it is being measured. The wheel has raised aspects or contours to assist grip.

Perhaps I could ask you for your opinion on the latest post on this fascinating subject Jim.
A 380mm wheel date stamped 3/73.
Mark
what a threat.
I own a 91434780610 with 73mm circumference or 25-27mm in Diameter, round about 1".
It is stamped 3 70.
Newer ever thought it would be a correct RS wheel.
Did they really used 2 1/2 year old wheels for the RS.

I'm close to the finish line, Clyde. My ST seats from Michael Eberhardt are now at Auto's International for fitting with leather and fabric. Once they are done the car goes back to the shop for final sorting. I've had the car in my garage for the past month and a half allowing me access to work on some little details including the 380 VDM wheel. I also have a beautiful Nardi and a Zuffenhaus made reproduction Monza wheel that I can swap in anytime. I really need to post some photos....
Keep an eye out for a "correct" 380 wheel, they look proper in the car. You won't be disappointed. The one I found came out a 914-6 when it was 6 months old and hung on a wall ever since. It was so nice I chose not to do a double wrap as it would be a shame to hide or damage the original leather.
